Have you filed your Question-! naire? - < , - i " i Some of the registrants are de-j pending entirely on the increase. j i The friendship between "Me und Gott" is not as closc as formerly. \ . General Von Kluck has evaporat-J ed, or been made into soap. We hope that we will not be com-| pelled to buy our coffin in advance. 1 ? How can we keep the home fires; burning without coal? Ask brother1 Morse. Dote Smith is up town nearly ev-j ery day wanting to buy the first Lib-' erty Bond. It would really be amusing to see a lot of fat men like Col. Kerr, Col. Calvert and Albert Henry at work, i So many politicians are trying to get on the cotton platform that we fear there will be no room for the cotton. From the condition of the bridges in Abbeville Countv. we are able to' judge that mules' legs are cheaper J than lumber and labor. We believe that the law should be so amended that a man will not be allowed to pay over two dollars per . month on his debts. We fear with the exodus of the * r.;jr" ' - ' . .. clerks to the farms and other essen tial industries, that Furniture Ker: will be be compelled to go to work Here's hoping. Von Hertling has been for th fourteen points all the time, he says and in a little while we hope to mak< him swallow about twenty-eight. Now that the lawyers have seei that all questionnaires have beei filled out, it is about time that M? McAdoo, or some of his hired men issue another indictment agains them. From the number of governmen circulars and quasi-government cir --- ~.r a, culars we receive, we are ui m< opinion that somebody has employe* the whole bunch of good-lookinj stenographers, and that they havi hired a few extra printing offices. FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. The United .States Governmen will, on Saturday, offer the larges loan ever offered by any governmen in the world at one time. Six bil lions of dollars worth of bonds, bear ing four and one-half per cent, in terest will be offered to the peoph of this country at par. That the whole amount, and more will be subscribed goes without say " * 1 " ' -il.. *v. ing. Witn tne passing mvuiua w< people of this country have seen vie tory come to the American arms they have seen a small body of mei grow into an army of nearly tw< millions of men; they have learne< that this country is in war in ear nest, and they have made up thei: minds for the sacrifice necessary t< make the world free, and the peopli a free people. With the coming o the casualty lists, the people havi dedicated themselves again to thi work which lies ahead of them. Th people will do their duty. The void of the patriot is now heard all ove the land. The thoughtless hav ceased to talk, the disloyal have gon to prison. V/e are one in the prose cution of the great war for humai freedom. The bonds will be boughl But we are chiefly interested i: the showing which is to be made b the South. With the talk abou price-fixing there has come talk tha the South may not subscribe as lib erally as-otherwise to this loan. Thi is a mistake. The South is patriotic Prices have been fixed on coal an wheat and other things which th South has been compelled to buj The people of the South, throug this price-fixing, have been save millions of dollars, and yet those whose products have had a pric fixed upon them, have not sufferec because we live under a just govern ment, and the prices fixed have bee reasonable, yes, liberal. It has bee unfortunate, we think, that the fix ing of a price on cotton has bee: delayed so long, but it will be fixed if at all, in the next few days. The price which may be fixed wil be a reasonable one. It will be fixei by the men appointed for the pur pose, with the concurrence of Presi dent Wilson, who has, in every em ergency, proved a friend to this peo pie. We may expect what is reason i 1 \1 r* onrl -Poii* Wo mnef vnmorMKo that the government and the othe peoples of the earth are to buy fron necessity while we sell mainly fo profit." Let us, therefore, not bi ereedy. Let us accept the deliver ance of the president and his ap pointees when they have acted. An< then let us get down to business. The war has brought great wealtl lo this section. The people are abli without hurt to themselves, to bu; many times the amount of bond which will be allotted to this section We hope that they will go about tin buying with that patriotic spiri which has always been a heritage o the South. Thousands and thousand of dollars are being made in Abbe ville County, and in every othe: county in the state, by the fanners Tho t^nnntc nrwl tVin the owners and all others are reap ing a great harvest in golden dollars The owners of the farms will bu: bonds, and they should encourag* their tenants and laborers on share: to invest some of the profits whicl are coming to them in this govern ment loan. Most of all they should at this time, discourage every spe cies of extravagance and waste, an< undertake to teach the less informe< the spirit of thrift and patriotism. Let us make a great drive! Le us cross the mark early! All to gether! Greensboro Man Gains 11 Pounds In Two Weeks t r g Proximity Carpenter Goes Out Of His Way To Tell The Story Of His Deliverance From Pain.

J : BTiiT I ; TO THE KIDNEYS j 8 I Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back ? hurts or Bladder bothers?Meat forma uric acid. a i e s y We are a' nation of meat eaters and ? our blood is filled with uric acid, says a :1 s well-known authority, who warns us to j . be constantly on guard against kidney fl e trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free ^ t the blood of this irritating acid, but 5 f become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminativc tissues clog b and thus the waste is retained in the * - blood to poison the entire system. r When your kidneys ache and feel like jj lumps of lead, and you have stinging ' pains m the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritaUe, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe head aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessy ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about B four ounces of Jad Salts; take a s tablespoonful in a glass of water before 1 breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This " famous salts is made from the acid of ;f grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, i to neutralize the acids in urine so it is j no longer a source of irritation, thus , ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot t injure; makes a delightful effervescent _ I lithia-water drink, and nobody can mak? a mistake by taking & little occasionally I to keep the kidneys clean and active.? j NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC I ON and after September the 25th, all meal and hulls sold in a retail way, where customer does not pay cash on delivery, will be charged $1.00 per ton higher on each for expense of charging and collection.
